AQS Paducah – Wall Quilts (Stationary Machine Quilted)

Wall quilts are some of my favorites….to view and to make!

The reason is that I personally don’t need any more bed-size quilts, but I can always find room on my wall.

“Beauty in the Broken” by Kathy K. Wylie

This quilt placed first at Paducah, but I had seen it before in Houston, where it was one of the special award winners.

While at Houston, I heard her speak about making the quilt, and you can find it HERE.

Yu-Chen is another of the Taiwan quilters who add so much detail to their quilts, cover them with tulle and then heavily quilt them.

Each little streak of light is made from several different fabrics…..

Tomorrow I will share a reel of some of the amazing quilting that I have seen!!
